use, and its ends are such that true
merit should never lend its aid to ac-
complish. Young men need not be
told of its deleterious effects upon the
human frame and brain; upon the
whole man, physically, morally, So
cially, every way nor of its conse-
quent effects on the citizen, the fami-
ly, society and government. 1t is the
relentless enemy of all these, and by
its fell power their ranks are decimat-
ed every year. In addition to these
weighty considerations, let it always
be remembered that Don to your
keeping, young men, will be COM
mitted the destinies of Tennessee and
of the Republic. The present youth
of America will have problems to
solve that were not dreamed of fifty
years ago. Upon their proper solu-
ton depend the integrity and glory
of your country and its first place
among the nations. Upon you large
ly depends the solution of the liquor
question now up in Tennessee for So
luton. Judging from the recent past
we need have no fears of how you
will solve it. May we say here, with
all the emphasis of which we are ca
pable, in concentrated effort there is
power. BY moving together, and
only by moving together, can we
hope to accomplish our purpose.
AS to the two political parties of the
State, too much cannot be said in
commentator of their fidelity to the
trusts reposed in them by the friends
of prohibition. They have ever been
ready, and with that manhood for
which Tennesseans are noted the
Democratic and Republican parties
have responded to their pledges and
the call of the people.
Temperance people have not light
ed this candle and put it under a
bushel. Let no man be deceived.
Our banners are yet floating on the
breezes, and we boldly assert that not
a sword shall be returned to its scab-
bard till the ''last armed foe expires"
The war Of the home against the sa-
loon shall be waeed until the liquor
traffic in the land we love shall in
deed and truth be a thing of the past.
And to this end, by the forces in
he field, and in the name of the
cause of humanity, and for God and
home and native land, we demand
legislative prohibition. To secure
this we demand of the two political
parties true and tried Prohibitionists
for whom we may vote to represent
the people in the next General AS
sembly. Still, we may make the fight
upon non-partisan grounds.

An Honest Physicians Candid Ac-
acknowledgement.

Occasionally there are candid and
fearless men in the medical profess
ion who, though strict adherents and
opponents of a professional "ethics'
are yet too undetermined to be. ham,
pered by prejudices and superstition
about "ethics" when suffering human
ity is concerned, men who will speak
the truth as they know it in behalf
of any thing, and to whom a propri-
etary medicine is not a scare-crow
nor a bugaboo, simply because it goes
by that name, but who investigate its
merits by experiments and when it
proves to be what it claims to be, at
once step to the front and frankly ac-
knowledge its merits and commend
it to suffering humanity everywhere.
Such a man is DIR. J. N. Cheney, an
eminent and well known physician,
living at Ellaville, Schley county,
Georgia, who, in a letter to the Swift
Specific Company, dated March 81.
1887, says, in reference to their famous
medicine
"Your s. S. S. medicine has revo-
lutionized the old school practice of
medicine, of which l am a faithful
disciple. The danger of mercurial
treatment for blood poison is known
to all. The profession has for centu-
ries sought a harmless cure, but in
vain, and it had become a settled be-
lief that it could only be cured by
mineral and dangerous treatment.
But in your medicine a safe and HARM
less cure for the worst forms of blood
posion has been found. Your S. S. S.
is a boon to humanity. have never
failed to make a safe, perfect and per-
manent cure where the patients have
followed your directions faithfully"

The Farmers Home.

New York Observer.
There is something decidedly in
congruous in a house devoid of life
and color, interiorly and %eXteriorly,
set down in the midst of a lovely
landscape, where earth and sky COM
bine to give a charm to existence.
1t is often o matter of wonder that
people are content to pass their days
in such surroundings without appar-
emily ever giving a thought to drawf
ing into their houses and their lives
something of the beauty that envel-
opes them like the atmosphere. Too
many country homes are built with
out regard to architectural beauty
or adaptiveness to use and circum-
stances. Too often they are regarded
as mere places for staying over night,
necessary shelter at meal time and
during bad weather. They are hasti-
ly put together, without any special
design or plan in view other than to
enclose so many rooms to live in and
sleep in, with as little regardfor actu-
al comfort, convenience, t~astefullness
and harmony of arrangement as there
would be in building a stable for cat
tie. The idea is to put up a house in
so much time for so much money land
for the rest there will be time to
think Of it when the crops are harvest
ed, and the fine cattle are bought, and
the new barn built. e-at.
1t is not an uncommon thing to
hear some penurious soul say that
anything is good enough for the
family. Proceeding on this principle,
all the best things-the finest apples,
the freshest eggs, the choicest butter,
the tenderest meat-are sent away to
market, while the family must be
content with "nubbin" fruit, salt
pork and skim-milk. In such homes
music, books, flowers, pictures, soft
carpets, easy chairs and innocent re.
creations are s%uperfuities and the end
Of existence are satisfied if so many
bushels of corn and oats are put in
the granary, and 50 many tubs of but.
ter in the cellar. IT is work, work,
indoors and out, the weary year
round, with nothing but rheumatism
and chilblains in the winter, and oc'
casional sewing-bees and donations,
TO relieve the monotony of existence,
Such homes are homes in name only
They are more like prison walls fol
young and ardent spirits who have
tasted the freedom and delights of q
larger and truer life.
Their baroness repel those who
have natural cravings for what is
bright and beautiful. They are left
without regret and remembered with,
out longing. No fond memories and
pleasant associations cluster around
them to call back the wanderer and
hayward, and no tender recollection
are awakened at, the sight of Their
bare leaden walls. They symbolic,
ifanything, a dry, hard, eXacting life,
narrow, ~represive, unlovely-an ex.

IT'S N # ALI.
Words written and music composed by BAR
NEY CHAMBERS.

There are men in all professions
We meet every day,
Whether pursuing pleasure
Or business as they may.
Their creed they read in public,
Which they practice not at all,
They all are after money,
So it's money after all.
The lawyer hangs his single ont,
To Goa the people in,
And then he tells them, great and small,
Their cases he will win
He says he labors for the good
OF people, one and all,
But he charges forty prices,
So it's money after all.
The doctor in his Office sits,
Among his drugs and pills,
Dealing out his doses,
To cure the peoples ills.
He says he likes to give relief,
To the suffering ones that call,
But he always likes the money,
80 it's money after all.
The preacher stands before us
And tells us Of our sins,
He says II we only love the Lord,
No matter about the tin.
But from where the biggest salary is
He receives the winning call
You can name it what you're a mind to,
But it's money after all.
The politician raves about
Reform from morn till night,
And says if he's elected
He'll legislate all right;
But when he gets to Congress
He's the grandest rogue of all
He gobbles up the money,
So it's money after all.
Thus in one common group they stand,
AS by my song you see,
No matter what they profess,
Or what their station be-
The merchant, lawyer, doctor,
Preacher, Congressman and all.
They all are after money,
So it's money after all.
